Open Firmware path on boot selection screen.

[Weinz Christian]

Hello,

I suggest adding the Open Firmware paths for devices SeaBIOS can boot 
from
(example: /pci@i0cf8/usb@12,2/usb-*@4) to the boot selection screen. I 
needed
to buy a serial adapter and a null modem just to get that string. That 
string
is important since you cannot modify the default boot sequence without 
it.

Best Regards,
Christian Weinz

Latest seabios (aka git master, 1.7.3 isn't new enough) can append the
seabios log to the coreboot logbuffer.  So you can use "cbmem -c" to
read the logs once the system is up'n'running and find the strings there.

Wow, that is a really cool feature! :)
